First response Vs Dollar tree

I've taken two dollar tree tests, one today (at 10DPO) and one two days ago. I know it's way too early. But today I bought first response and on the package it says it can be used 6 days before missed period. Today is 6 days before. So I'm going to wait till tomorrow to take one and if that doesn't work I'll take it on the 23rd. Does anyone have experience taking first response tests early and finding a positive when dollar tree tests said it was negative?

Yes. First response detects like 1+ hcg in my experience. I had a miscarriage last month and took one day and next day had blood work at my hcg was only 4 and r detected it as positive on the test. Id say if you implanted, you will get a positive even though it will be faint. For sure four days before period. But I always test 4+ days early with FRER. Good luck! I'm 8dpo and dying to test :-)

With my son, FReR was positive the day of my missed period. Dollar tree, wondfos, etc were negative until like a week late. I can't imagine it would ever work 6 days early for me and I'm not even bothering w cheapies this time bc they were negative forever for me before but everyone's timing of o and hormones etc are different so it can be different for each of us.
